摘要
Room temperature stimulated emission and laser action with well developed longitudinal optical modes from high-quality GaN films grown on silicon substrates by metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition are presented. Laser action with well developed Fabry-Perot modes involving the A, B, and C bands was observed. Stimulated emission one exciton below the A band and the B band and one longitudinal optical phonon below the B band was also observed. The effective index of refraction during laser operation was measured to be 2.9. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
